I feel like the highlight of my hairs life/career will be the day I get a pixie cut. I have always wanted one. I mean, ever since Ive been in my 20s Ive wanted one. I never really thought about it before then. I dont know what is stopping me really. I am pretty proud of my hair-guts, and Im not really afraid to try new things.but the pixie, at this point its almost the untouchable. What if its not as exciting as Ive always thought it will be? What if I like it for only a month?

I know Ill have a pixie one day, but it has to be the right time. So, for now Ill look longingly at the pixie hair of my fancy. The girls with all the hair courage.

Carrie Mulligan

Michelle Williams

Sienna Miller

Agyness Deyn (she comes into my salon. Her platinum pixie is cuter than you can imagine)

My mom. Photo of a photo from the late 1950s, shes the cutie on the left. My mom is actually an inspiration to me in a lot of hairy ways. Ive had a client for 3 years that gets my moms shaggy early 70s cut.

So. I vow right here on Hairdresser On Fire, that one day I will get a pixie. I will not be afraid forever. I will have one.

It just might be two or three or four years.

PS Something about a pixie screams for a drastic hair color, right?

And Emma Watson, she is also very cute with short hairs. And Audrey Tautou? I do not have the face for Pixies hair but it could be so fresh and adorable on girly faces. Hope to see you with this new cute soon

I had a pixie cut in my 20s.Im not sure Id go back to that, but Id just like the guts to go short(er) now!
I sobbed when my hairdresser cut it. She was pretty upset and anxious, but I told her that I loved it. I did! It was just shock! But it was so fun to color.although it was a lot more work than having long hair, for sure. Growing it out was a bear.

After my daughter was born and I turned 30 I cut 12 inches off for my first pixiebest idea ever. I love it because she cant pull my hair anymore and I feel a new sophistication and sexiness now that Im getting older. Of course youll look fantastic. You demonstrate better than anyone my favorite thing about hair: that its just hair and it will always grow backso you might as well have fun with it!

Ive been thinking about a pixie a lot lately! Something about them.. I dont know.. they just look so cute and fun. I have a really short bob right now, but Im still scared to make that plunge and go for the pixie. But I love seeing women that can rock it.. I think Michelle Williams is my favorite!

Ugh, I adore Carey Mulligans hair in that picture and Im kind of obsessed with Emma Watson right now, but I could never pull off a pixie with my face shape. You can totally rock anything though, so you should do it! If only so I can live vicariously.

I love your blog! You are inspiringthats coming from a fellow Hairdresser, as well. (I actually trained under Ramie at Carstens in Phoenix long ago.) Anyway, I got the famous pixie cut when I was going into my senior year of high school. It was so bold of me and I couldnt hide under my locksit was empowering and I had fun with it. Nowadays, its long, wavy and just a manelike Sarah Jessica Parkers. I say do a Pixie when you are readyits a huge change! Lol.

Reagan, just doooo it! If you can do the pink, you can do the pixie. I cut mine super short at the beginning of the summer and I absolutely love it. I dont think Im going to keep it short forever, but there is so much freedom in always having hair out of your face. Im glad you included Michelle Williams in your lineup; she is my hair icon. Her hair is a perfect balance of a short length with soft, long front layers.

I had a bright red pixie cut in college. Im waiting to have one again until I have no other choice. (You know, when I have long glamorous silver hair and my grandkids tell me I look weird and I should cut it.)

i totally rocked the pixie when i was a junior and senior in high school, after seeing a photo in seventeen magazine. oh, and i chose rocket fire red by redken as the hue. looking back, it was maroon. my cheeks were too chubby and my hair was too thick, but it still loved it!

I love these cuts. I got one years ago the night before my wedding. Yep. Long and straight to pixie, and with a new stylist to boot! I have no idea now what I was thinking at the time. Fortunately it rocked! I have a question though when my hair is short its curly, and the longer it gets the more the curl goes, and even with a wand or hot rollers I cant for the life of me get curl to stay in.

Why is it some hair holds curl so easily and some doesnt hold it at all?

Ive done the pixie a few times and have loved it. Now, I think its too severe a look for me and that Im better with hair framing my face. However I adore pixies on the right face and I think I love Emma Watson and Michelle Williams the most, at this point. Lets not forget about Halle Berry. She looks best in a pixie; when her hair was long I just knew that sooner or later shed return to the pixie. Its her best look. Emma Watsons cut is freaking awesome! What a beauty. I think you could carry it off for sure.

I had a bleached blond pixie (yuck, now) and I also went brunette, dark, when I had a pixie. I know what you mean about wanting it to go a different color when you do. I think its best to maintain it within a semblance of ones natural color and amp it with highlights or something. Love Emma Ws color too. She looks great.

Im back to say, Get it pixied, asap! I cant wait to see it on you. It will transform your look (not that you need transforming). I just think it will look so great on you. Cant wait! You have the face and neck for that cut

Get a pixie! Mine has never been that short, but I am natorious for cutting off my long hair. Just gave my long locks the boot for a cute short cut. It is sooo liberating! Shows the world I am more than a little brave. Besides, it is just hair. Mine has never failed to grow!

I did it back in April. Sort of by accident;) I work at an Aveda Institute in Charlotte, NC, and the students were having a cutting competition, and I was a model and just told them to do whatever they wanted/needed to do. Two hours later, my past shoulder hair was pixie short. I pretended like I was okay with it, but I had some freak out moments over the next few weeks.

But, overall I lovvvvve it. And now that its growing out (sort of like Sienna Millers cut above), Im liking it even more. I can do a tiny (tiiiiny) ponytail in the back now, which I find to be sassy and fun. And my hair is platinum as well. Its a fun look.

I had a pixie a year ago. Liked it at first but it was never quite right Ive been growing my hair out since and it is SUCH a pain because there are so many layers. Thats my only cautionary tale. It works so well on some people! It just never felt like me, but I was feeling daring and went for it. Gotta try it once. Go for it!

Its funny, Im fourteen, just got my hair chopped off into a pixie, I was running my fingers through the back of my freaky short hair when I remembered your blog and decided to go there to see what you had been posting, and I saw this post and laughed. Im not daring at all with my hair, I just wanted a change, made the appointment and got a sixteen dollar haircut. I love it but Im just awaiting all the kids asking about my sexual orientation, I guess thats the only daring part for me.

I too have been dying to try a pixie cut. But then I always chicken out and get some other style instead. I got a short inverted bob last time. I love the volume that comes with short hair and the effortless styling. Im thinking about getting a cut again, maybe this time I will take the plunge. ginnifer goodwin is my inspiration.
